If you are following Internet of Things, you must have heard about CoAP, OMALWM2M, IPSO smart objects, etc. and have wondered how all these new protocols fits together in a stack. In this post we will look at how these protocols relate to existing world…
Nearly 50 years after the creation of The Jetsons, owning a 'Rosie-type' personal robot is almost here. Thank you to today's technology and intelligent innovators, the 'far-fetched future utopia' dreams are finally becoming a reality.…
A 'smart' device isn't smart if you can only control it locally. What good is that? You need the ability to control your devices remotely. And that's where remote configuration comes into play. Remote configuration enables developers…
Growth in adoption of connected cars has exploded as of late, and is showing no signs of slowing down, especially the vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-retail segments. As adoption grows exponentially, the challenges in how we develop these apps…
IPSO Smart Objects: Data Interoperability for the Internet of Things
On September 30th, the Internet Protocol for Smart Objects (IPSO) Alliance published the Smart Object Starter Pack Guideline. This document, while not a formal specification, provides…
My own house is a good example of why we need…

Anyone creating applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) will soon have a standard messaging protocol, the Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT). Created in 1999 by Dr. Andy…
Creating applications for the Internet of Things is surprisingly easy yet not without challenges. But don’t worry – you don’t have to go at it alone.
Are you ready to turn your ideas into an Internet of Things hardware-software reality…
When developing IoT devices in the lab, network connectivity is fairly easy. With a couple of devices and a server running on the back end, connectivity is seamless and low latent. However, deploying that IoT app on a global scale, to thousands or even…
For those of you who don’t already know about mbed, it is an open-source, ARM-based hardware and software platform designed for professional rapid prototyping of products and mass production. Since joining the mbed team this past March, I get asked…
If the IoT isn’t just hype, then how is it different from M2M? Why are decoupled devices and permissionless innovation key for the IoT to succeed?
In a previous blog How Will the Next 50 Billion Devices Shape Our Future?, Krisztian Flautner shared…
Today we posted a new video tutorial on the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) and related technology for discovery and semantics from the IETF. In this tutorial I cover the background and motivation of designing CoAP, how the Web works and why it…
The promise of IoT has heralded a bold new era where major technology corporations are no longer afraid to increase the market size forecasts with increments of 10s of billions. But what does that really mean when they talk about billions of connected…
For many months now, I have been looking into the factors that would make IoT reach mass deployment. There are many…
For those of you that have met me or heard me speak about the “Internet of Things” (IoT) would know that I normally indicate my displeasure for the term. Don’t get me wrong. I am a firm believer that the future will consist of a world where systems can…
